You should like the Trax then because it is classified as a station wagon. Too low to the ground to classify as light truck. The author of the review I read said the Trax reminded them of driving the Cruze Hatchback.

It is always nice when manufacturers sneak in a wagon - even if they have to pretend it is something else. In my opinion a hatchback or wagon is always superior than a sedan. Far too little utility in a sedan for the footprint.
